Councillor Fiona Collie, inset, spokesperson for Health and Social Care explained: “We want to ensure no family is left feeling isolated and struggling during these challenging times, so if you need a safe space to talk, explore your feelings and find options for a positive way forward, please call the support line on 01324 501200.”
